ublk passes the parameters of incoming I/O in memory shared between the kernel ublk driver and userspace ublk server in struct ublksrv_io_desc. The size of this struct is currently fixed to 24 bytes, which has been an obstacle to extending it with additional fields [1]. Additionally, with multiple ublk server threads handling I/Os from the same ublk queue (possible with UBLK_F_PER_IO_DAEMON or UBLK_F_BATCH_IO), false sharing results from adjacent io_descs sharing the same cache line. Add a ublk feature UBLK_F_IO_DESC_SIZE to allow a ublk server to override the size of each io_desc. The size must be at least 24 and a multiple of 8 to store a properly-aligned struct ublksrv_io_desc. It's also limited to a maximum of 256, though this bound could be lifted in the future. The struct ublksrv_io_desc is located at the beginning of each io_desc and the remainder is padding. The mmap() performed for each queue must have a length of queue_depth * io_desc_size rounded up to the page size. The mmap() offset must be q_id * UBLK_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH * io_desc_size, also rounded up to the page size.
